Description
Jing Li and co-authors trial a caring-theory nursing program for patients facing advanced lung cancer, in a 2026 study. Coping with death is a skill: patients who face dying with steadier attitudes suffer less anxiety and depression. Noddings' caring theory, built on modeling, dialogue, practice, and recognition, offered the program's spine.
Seventy inpatients were randomized, thirty-five to the program and thirty-five to usual care. Over three weeks the program group moved through its four caring phases. Afterward, and again a month later, they scored higher on coping-with-death competence, held more positive death attitudes, and reported lower anxiety and depression than controls. The authors present structured caring as teachable support, not just bedside manner.
